But due to that story I felt an immediate respect for his professionalism and relationship with those people he represented. Though this was a very small, perhaps insignificant part of Congdon’s career (and this almost makes it all the more memorable to me in a way) it is what I will always remember when I think of Mr. Congdon.

The story of the finishing of the “Leibowitz” sequel is amazing to read, from Bisson: http://terrybisson.com/page4/page4.html:

I had looked forward to meeting Miller and getting his approval of my work. Congdon disabused me of that notion. “I was his agent for forty years and we never met in person.”
